Prepare to Remove the Drain Flange
At 0:22 in
I Was Changing Out My Bathtub Drain Then This Happened!! #helpingothers #plumbing #diy #plumbers
What happens here
After removing the pop-up stopper, if you observe a crossbar inside the drain, you will need a specialized drain removal tool, often referred to as a 'dumbbell' drain wrench. Insert this dumbbell drain wrench into the drain opening, ensuring it securely engages with the crossbar. For leverage, you can insert a large screwdriver into one of the wrench's holes. If you lack a screwdriver that fits or prefer an alternative, an adjustable jaw wrench can also be used to grip and turn the dumbbell wrench, providing the necessary torque to loosen the drain flange.
Goal: Position the correct tool to unscrew the drain flange.
